So, if I'm 5 back with only 6 games to go I might as well tale some longshots.

BC......they lose and they're in 2nd place and the Bombers can relax
Toronto.....the Riders only have pride to play for & the Argos are too good
Peg City......in the event BC wins they really need to win this one

The Picks include play-off games, 2 semi-finals, 2 finals and the grey cup
So that is an extra 5 games to make up points.

Really?  Is that new this year?

That rule has been in place for a few years including 2023.

Here is an excerpt from the stickied Pickems thread...

"The contest will begin with the first regular season game on June 8, 2023 between BC and Edmonton and carry through the season up to and including the Grey Cup."

BC
TOR

tough week to gain any ground unless someone implodes... 3 best teams starting nearly all of their best players vs 3 of the 4 weakest teams.  Yikes.  It would be fun if I'm wrong about the 1st 2 games though!
Never go full Rider!

Good job bluehawk newblue blueforlife!  But I gotta know: did you pick because you had a feeling, or because you were in desperation catch-up mode?  Both are equally as good for a +1!  Must have felt nice cheering for CGY to pull it off.  Great job!  I was like, could CGY pull it off, like they did vs TOR?  They have these weird flashes of genius at times, then go stink up the field next game.  Then I was like, nah, no way Stamps win against BC at home in their big season closer.  :-X

For me it was pretty much desperation catchup.  Can't keep picking the same games as the leaders and expect to make up ground. It was a longshot, but doable. Now if I would have gotten the Riders too I'd have actually made some ground.  In the end didn't even move at all  :-[

Throw Long Bannatyne

Re-invigorated Stamps and Ti-Cats throws a spanner in the works, if either team plays as well as they can, they could beat any team, making them hard to predict.
